Ear, Nose and Throat Services for International Patients

Where the World Comes for the Highest Quality Care

Founded in 1824, the Department of Otolaryngology at NYEE was the first Otolaryngology department in America. Since then, the Department has evolved into a major international referral center, performing more than 5,000 surgeries and treating more than 70,000 outpatients a year. The Department provides a full range of services to patients of all ages, providing treatment for all conditions of the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. Our physicians are experts in the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid tumors, sinus problems, cleft lip and cleft palate repair, voice and throat conditions, hearing disorders, sleeping and airway difficulties, and cosmetic issues of the face and neck. Using the latest minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art-technology, our specialists combine a patient-centered approach to care with a high level of clinical experience resulting in superior outcomes for patients affected by function-limiting conditions, shortened rehabilitation, and enhanced quality of life.
